I like Torsten's videos. Not only does he do business, but it seems he really loves yachts and sailing. That makes boats special.
I am glad you like it! I just love what I do. I am glad you can notice this. It´s also being in the lovely position to have our boats built in the exact way I would do it for myself...and I do work for a company with 50 years of tradition and experience in doing just that. ...with this, all work related things become fun ;-)
Torsten's videos are the best on YT
Dear Joe, this is a fabulous video of two epic days we had an board! All seasons and weather in one day and one of the best anchorages and highest currents passage possible in this lovely area on our way north from Seattle to Vancouver in February Pacific-North-West. Great having Sheila, James and you on board! Thanks for taking us out again onto this video tour!!!! Torsten
the video is awful stupid
Schön Sie “überall” zu sehen, Torsten !!! Viel Erfolg weiterhin bis irgendwann vor Ort 😉🤙🏼. Kurze Frage ist die DS40 solo auch so gut zu bewegen wie eure DS35 ? Beste Grüße NiC
@@NiCsince2011 Danke schön, darauf freue ich mich auch schon! Ja, wenn die Einhandtauglichkeit oder die Manövriereigenschaften gemeint sind in jedem Fall!
@@SiriusYachts vielen dank für die erfreuliche nachricht liebe sirius werft...meine Frau und ich haben jetzt eure tollen videos gesehen... 310DS...pff zu klein, wenn schon dann richtig...dachte ich erst...omg wie überheblich von mir, die 310ds ist ja der hammer das gleiche innenkonzept wie die großen schwestern einfach top für zwei personen !!!😍 wir werden am ball bleiben. best wünsche für ein gutes neues jahr. NiC
@@NiCsince2011 Thank you very much! I am glad you like our 31 feet model as well! The 310 is indeed surprisingly spacious. PBO`s (Practical Boat Owner´s) verdict in 2011 was: “This is an amazingly big little yacht in which everything has been thought through with exceptional thoroughness and put together with obvious skill and care. It would take a week of testing and a report long enough to fill an entire magazine to do her justice. Despite the Teutonic logic and precision that underlies behind every aspect of the design, however, she does exude a certain charm. … She offers so many big-boat features in terms of quality, space, attention to detail and scope for customisation that I suspect a lot of people will decide there’s really no need to buy anything bigger.” ...hope to meet you in the not too far distance! All the best for your 2021 as well!
40DS is awesome in every detail 👍🏻
Thanks, Andrey!
great boot .
These boats look great but I'm worried that you get a free Torsten with every one because he is in almost every video about them.
You do!
Well he is the owner of Sirius Yachts…
Sure seems that way
That worries you? I think it is pretty incredible that he is so available.
Great real world experience. The boat appears to have a great build quality, and fantastic use of space. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for pointing out. The fantastic use of space is actually kind of very easy "cheating" as we simply use the widest part of the hull - where each boat has the most space - in a length of about 11 foot (3,5 meters) double. Thanks to the raised settee, we do not only get the great 360° all-round view, but also the space for a very spacious master cabin and the practical technical room at the very same position. The pantry gains the large floor compartments with an unbelievable amount of storage space... and whoever is cooking, is still able to look out of the window and/or steer the yacht at the same time. So in order to compare our yachts in terms of space (and price) with other yachts, you could include the gained space in your calculation. A Sirius 310 offers already the space and the living area like on a 36 or 37 feet yacht. On our Sirius 35 DS you find room like on a typical 40 or 41 feet yacht. The 40DS can be compared with the roomy feel, storage space and the lifestyle of a yacht around 47-48 feet
So glad I found the video. It looked very cozy inside with all the wind and rain pounding down. Congratulations on your voyage. Looking forward to more.
Yes, did you noticed Joe filming on with the integrated microphone of his cell phone, while there where about 25-30 knots of wind outside (5:50)! It really is a different world and feel of safety!
The saloon is on exactly the same level as the low cockpit and is indeed a quite calm place to be in rough weather conditions. Last year, after the Southampton boat show, we had two full weeks of test sails in above 28kn of wind - for every single day! Going inside, the moment you are out of the most busy waters outside of the port, is an fantastic experience! The insolation of the whole boat but also the Polycarbonate door and double glassed windows, as well as the soft motion makes 30kn feel like not more than 15 inside. After some tea, coffee and sandwiches - and mainly because someone said: "well, there is the Isle of Wight coming up - shouldn´t we do a tack?" you put you oilies back on and the moment you open the door - you are back in 30kn of wind ;-)
This boat is a thing of beauty. Someday...
someday, that's what i say too... soon!!!
40DS. The boat of dreams ...
Thank you very much! Glad you like it. Here is some more of this very one, if you like: ruclips.net/video/MQgRIVw-kPg/видео.html and some here: ruclips.net/video/haLHXkmd2Is/видео.html
This is the first boat out of 100's I've seen that has a helm at the nav station. I was always asking why not putting it there (Garcia 45 do youhera me). Brilliant! How fast is she?
@@tangomechanic Yes, that`s useful and has an very easy feel but can also be done electronically with a direct steering function via or by the autopilot remote control instead of an actual wheel
Smartly positioned and detailed yacht... green with envy
Thank you very much!!!
Thanks, I fall in love with this boat.
Glad you like it!
Just a beautiful practical boat
Perfect design ♡
Thanks a lot. I am glad you like it! There has gone a lot of thought and work in the design, but behind this stands a big team who all work with love and passion and thousands of owners ideas. Lots of credit to them as well!
Beautiful hull!!! have nice winds!!!
Thank you very much! It was a great trip up north from Seattle to Vancouver! What a great landscape .... and nice winds!
I love this boat, it is perfect for the PNW. If you purchase this boat please post more videos!
Thanks Scott. Unfortunately I am not in the position to purchase one, but I absolutely loved all I experienced from the PNW on the trip between Seattle and Vancouver! There are many more videos to come soon about the trip on the Sirius Channel but if you like to have a look in the meantime here: ruclips.net/video/RMcxA5mDPwg/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/MQgRIVw-kPg/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/haLHXkmd2Is/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/aGv3S7-e8cY/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/CE5MoENMjJM/видео.html (if you like, there are many more ;-)
Wow. Nice boat.
lovely salon deck 😍
Glad you like it! ...I might be a bit biased, but I do always wonder who would build ...or buy ...or even rent a holiday cottage …..overlooking a nice lake .................. with no windows???
Looks like a perfect boat for the PNW. Not my idea of boating fun (all that water and you can’t get into it, and not a beach bar in sight), but that boat looks perfect for it. Can’t believe how spacious that mid hull cabin appears to be. Love the throw-over helm.

...the CANTING WHEEL it´s a great feature, offered by Jefa-Steering. I always wonder why we do not see it more often.
I had first seen it ...and got the idea from a Canadian water plane as the captain ask me sitting next to him "if I like to have a try" and canted the pedestal over to me ;-). But yes, it´s a great feature, offered by the world`s leading producer of steering systems: Jefa-Steering. I always wonder why we do not see it more often. Have seen it on some race and sporty boats for which is has been invented
I loove love love this boat.
I wish you'd also build your incredible 40DS in Brazil! There would be a flaming market for them, and would be impossible to buy as when they're imported. If anyday you want to entertain this Idea, I'm the guy! All the best, Torsten
Glad you like it! I am sorry to say that our yachts are not produced in Brazil or at any other place than here in northern Gemany.
I do have heart before that Brazil seems to have very striced rules on exporting sailing yachts. I am very sorry about it.
Otherwise our boats are available all around the world and been sold to 28 different countries by now.
nice. i would love to live on the boat at 76 and save 3.000 . i pay hug
on the apt i hate lol
ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАЯ ЯХТА, ШЕДЕВР ЯХТОСТРОЕНИЯ
Большое спасибо за этот щедрый голос! Я рад что вам понравилось!
Thank you very much for this generous vote! I am glad you like it!
I would love to have a 40DS or 35DS one day but I will certainly have few extra new flags just in case someone makes videos on board, so it won't show ripped.
Clever design
Thanks a lot. I am glad you like it! There has gone a lot of thought and work in the design, but behind this stands a big team who all work with love and passion and thousands of owners ideas from all over the world. Lots of credit to them as well!
I have the money - but would have to sell my house. Will have to go over that with my wife.......
Hm, that might well be a challenge! Good luck with it! But do bring her on board. These deck saloon yachts have a good standing with wives ;-)
Priorities...ditch the wife. 😄
You dont need your wife that much, a boat like this is a chick magnet. You will do it more times in a week, than a whole year with your wife.
this boat make me drools
Glad you like it!
Simillar Sirius 31+ conception as Regina yachts from Sweeden.
Yes, Reginas are also very nice boats! If someone is interested, here are the links to some of the other 40 or so videos available about Sirius Yachts: Sirius 310 DS: ruclips.net/video/cLCgVFu4L3Y/видео.html Sirius 35 DS: ruclips.net/video/y-v-h50KZgM/видео.html
Do these boats do ok as deepwater cruisers?
Or are they mainly designed as coastal/fjord sailing? Shallow twin keels have me wondering, not having seen them before on a cruising boat.
Beautiful and thoughtfully designed layout.
Yes, indeed. They were developed for this! There have been a number of curcumin-navigations on older yachts even. Some Atlantic crossings. This very 40 DS was collected by the owners in Germany and sailed straight back to Vancouver via Canary Islands, Caribbean, Panama Canal, Galapagos, Micronesia, Hawaii crossing 17.000sm.
With Sirius Yachts you can choose between various keel versions including different length of fins, real swing keels and twin keels. Performance in rough weather conditions is pending much more on the hull shape and level of weight stability, rather than the keel version you are choosing your boat in, but that`s a different question (if of interest, I am happy to explain why we did what we did).
The twin keels perform likewise in rough seas as they have the same stability rating as the deeper fins. But they also carry more weight to archive this, which makes some motion even more gentle
*Question: What is that thing that is coiled @**7:56**? It somewhat reminds me of a miniature fire hose by how fire hoses are coiled.*
Thats an anchor line or land line, 50m long, made from webbing, as this is much faster and easier to recover by turning the wheel on the handle, than pulling a wet 50 rope in when leaving the harbour or anchorige...
If this had watertight compartments then it would be better than the new Amel 50. Nah, Sirius is still king!
Is there a music-free version of this video???
Wow what a cracking boat! she's a gem ................... the video was ruined by the stupid, loud background music ............. will seek alternative videos of the yacht.
Guess you have allready found this one here: ruclips.net/video/RMcxA5mDPwg/видео.html here? This one was of this very yacht: ruclips.net/video/MQgRIVw-kPg/видео.html ....there are many more and more to come ;-)
👍⛵
Beautiful and excellent quality. Too expensive vs an Allures, Garcia, Elan for same size boat. If the Dollar gets crazy strong against the Euro in future, will consider buying one years from now.
I would have liked to see more details... where is the rest of the footage?
If you like have a look for more about this particular boat here: ruclips.net/video/MQgRIVw-kPg/видео.html or generally and in better quality here: ruclips.net/video/RMcxA5mDPwg/видео.html
There is also much more of the trip to come soon...If you like to watch this space here: ruclips.net/channel/UCkjd0E1nK5M51LBseKiJMfA?view_as=subscriber
Do you have to go through the forward cabin to use the head. Sucks to be stuck sleeping in there with people coming and going all night.
I’d still buy one. Awesome boat. But the head thing is weird.
No, there are two heads. The one en suite to the forward cabin (or the midships cabin, if you specify it that way) is the private head of the owner. The second one is the day-head which is located in the central position right about the stb keel for very little motion at sea. It is designed with the toilet facing forward and you will sit kind of tuged in but safe even in heavy seas. It is accessable directly from the floor in front of the saloon. It also has a shower cabin included.
Sorry I got confused. Then I watched it again and realized my misunderstanding. Love these boats!
@@SiriusYachts
Wow ...
Thank you! Glad you like it! ...if the wow was ment to be for the boat ;-)
While there’s much to like about this boat the position of the main sheet as well as the coach roof winch and line controls both make for awkward dodgers and biminis…not good for sun and rain protection…needs a better solution there. Also it needs to be in a 45´ version to reduce that boxy look. YMMV
I can understand that you are curious about a dodger or Sprayhood....but only partly….as the main idea is going in, when the weather is foul, instead of staying outside and getting wet ;-) (if you like, do have a look to ruclips.net/video/U7Qby0MZ6m4/видео.html at 05:00). So protection wise it`s not much needed as there is hardly ever coming spray back into the cockpit due to the 40cm of overhang of the roof up front which acts as a spray breaker. The hull shape helps even more as the boat do not slam. The door sits back on rubber sealants about 20cm under the overhang of the sliding hatch and could be used without opening it to go in. The decks house acts as a protection for the cockpit in terms of shelter form wind, but yes, from about 250 Sirius Decks Saloon Yachts about 5 have specified a sprayhood. A different thing is of cause a Bimini:
We have options for Biminis and sun covers for partly or full sun protection. You can either opt for a freestanding, or an in an cockpit arch at the back integrated Bimini for the aft part of the cockpit above and around the helms man position. This could be extended in harbours or anchorages to cover the front part of the cockpit as well, when not sailing. Have a look at 1:00 and 1:50 onwards in: ruclips.net/video/MQgRIVw-kPg/видео.html
For those seeking full sun protection everywhere in the cockpit, even while sailing, we do offer a targa style cockpit arch above the deck saloon. This has also the mainsheet attached on top which than could be operated by a remote controlled rewind winch. With this setup you could shade the full cockpit while sailing either in connection to a free standing or integrated Bimini. It’s a very nice feature for very sunny areas and living on board all year round...but works against rain as well ;-) ....and could easily closed in front with a kind of a transparent Sprayhood
Start from the outside and slowly walk inside i was kinda confuse as first
идеальная яхта, мечта каждого, жаль не сбыточная
Большое спасибо. Я рад, что вам это нравится! Это времена, когда мечты работать, чтобы быть гораздо более важным ... Thank you very much. I am glad you like it! This are times, where dreams to work to are so much more important...
Question about the dual keel. It’s great that it is better equipped to deal with tidal ranges that a typical sailboat would not handle. But, how much of a concern is there with ending up on an angle and either putting more weight on one side, or potentially tipping over? I’m assuming, stay away from rocks and find some nice soft sand to “anchor” in and it’s not that much of a problem?
Well, staying away from rocks would be my advice as well ;-) ...but that`s all about a few basics of how to choose your spot. Should be foreseeable calm, as you will be stuck there for 5 to 10 hours and you had to come off again in good enough conditions as well.
When we were deciding on drying out or not, we were still in Possession Sound on our way to Deception Pass, but needed a place for the night, so we looked for the timing, wind and tide (which is all very convenient shown with graphs on modern chart plotters) and focussed on Elger Bay on Camano Island. A look to the satellite image showed a topography, which looked shallow and flat on a wide area, as well as gravel or sand from the beach. We were well into the beginning of a falling tide and approached it slowly, watching the depth sounder. If you see this franticly springing up and down and lots of rocks around the coast it`s not a perfect spot, but if it`s a very slow rise and the beach, you are near to, looks even, it`s perfect. So it did and we motored until we were shortly before touching and had found a nice looking spot. Than you circle the place a bit, as you should do when choosing your anchorage and when the deep sounder looks still ok, this is it.
Ideally, prepare your anchor to lay it out if you need it as safety to help you pulling you back out, when the tide comes back (if you do not like to put it on your shoulder and walk it, to where you like to position it, what I often do ;-)). Than you could anchor and wait until the water is gone, but I love to "run" her aground on slow speed. You get a better sense for the sea bed and can use rudder and engine to push her a bit on, once you have touched the ground. This also gives you the possibility to turn her the way you like to have the wind or evening sun in the cockpit. At this moment you would also get the ultimate feel for how she levels and how firm the ground is
As - unlike a swing keel - your prop and hull stays far off the ground and well protected, you do not have to worry much: Sand, gravel, small rocks (as long they are, in general, level enough) are fine. On sand and gravel you won`t sink in at all. It`s surprising how firm wet sand becomes, compressed under the (lead) keel bottom, having the boat standing on top of it, rather than sinking in. On a concreate plate or firm rock, the boat would stand free supported on both keels, without the rudder touching and you could walk and sit everywhere on the boat, without the danger of tipping (we tried it once with 12 guys, jumping up and down on the back and transom). On sand or gravel the keels would sink in 20 to 50mm and as the centre of gravity, in longitunal direction, is behind the mid position, the boat would always sink in a bit more at the back. Hench the rudder, which has a Delrin sheave to the hull as an compression point and half skeg, as well as little foil (of foot) at the bottom, would take some little weight to form a tri-pod stand. To make it safe when approaching a spot, the rudder is 80mm less deep, than the bottom of the keel
I have also dried out many times in mud, in harbours and rivers. Depending on the density you would sink in (without noticing) until you are on the waterline again or, if its firmer, the hull has found enough surface on top of the mud. Yes, in this cases, or on less ideal ground you sometimes wonder, if you might have to spend the night in an odd angle, but since 10 years now, the majority of boats we built are twin keels (as they have proven nearly the same sailing performance, than the deep fins and offer so much more possibilities) and I have many customers in tidal areas loving to dry out - like I do - and from all this hundreds of times, I have never experienced or heard of an uncomfortable night, because of ending up at an angle
I think it`s an fantastic possibility to enjoy nature even more. The absolute stillness of the boat, when the water is gone, the total change of the landscape around you, literally every 10 minutes and the ability to take a walk over to the next island, on the beach, or around your boat, harvesting some oysters on your way back and being amidst of seals and birds ...and all for yourself...is spellbinding!
What an amazing response. Thank you so much for the detail you put into that. I'm starting my search for a live aboard cruising yacht and came across the Sirius DS. I haven't seen one in person yet, but the videos and attention to detail (like you're response) has gone a long way to selling me on this boat. Again, thank you! Hopefully, the Annapolis boat show will still be on this year and Sirius will be in attendance.
Shame about the music, it detracts from the video and it’s hard to hear the narrative. Great boat.
vay be.. aşmış adamlar olayı.
Beğendiğine sevindim!
@@SiriusYachts thanks again. u did most comfortable sailboat for couples. Hope to have it one day.
@@ozgurdalkiran ...you are most welcome! All the best wishes to you!
What's the price for the base 4-BERTH?
As prices and standard equipment’s are changing over the years and we hope this video will still be up to date in 5 years from now we try not to post prices here. But please feel free to contact us via our website www.sirius-yachts.com and get the actual price list, additionals and what the standard price contains
No traveller on the mainsheet - fixed point. That's got to make downwind sailing a lot harder, no? Otherwise a dream boat really.
I personally do not like traverlers in cockpits forthe health hassard and spase you lose. Most smaller racing boats of the last 15 years have done away with them too as there are other trimming devices to twist and trim the main sail, but as a race sailer I don konw what you are looking for and why. Mainly for those seeking full sun protection everywhere in the cockpit, even while sailing, we do offer a targa style cockpit arch above the deck saloon. This has also the mainsheet attached on top (and could have a traveler) which than could be operated by a remote controlled rewind winch. With this setup you could shade the full cockpit while sailing either in connection to a free standing or integrated Bimini. It’s a very nice feature for very sunny areas and living on board all year round...but works against rain as well ;-) ....and could easily closed in front with a kind of a transparent Sprayhood...if one likes that...
Fabulous boat, but this is not a test. It is an infomercial... ;-)
Nice boat, but why are you motoring in such wonderful wind and sea conditions?
Well, I guess it´s always various things you like test and to archive. You are very welcome to come out with us in a real blow. After last year`s Southampton boat show we had two full weeks of test sails which around and above 30kn of wind on every single day. Some of those customers probably would have loved to see how she handles in a light breeze... In this very situation we had dropped the sails earlier when the wind went off and the daylight was fading fast, as well as a difficult passage approaching, when the squall hit us. If the journalist on board would had loved to try sailing again, we would have discussed this with the rest of the interested party on board. But in the circumstances, all visibility gone and all this crab pots around, I doubt that other sailors would have opted to set sails...
Depends on a lot of factors.
If I had 500K eur I would buy this boat
The Sirius 40 DS is „made in Germany“. There is no other boat you can chose so many differents interior designs.
test?
If you like , there is a nice comparison test out here: Part 1: ruclips.net/video/I3ehg7AlPuE/видео.html&lc=z22kzxirvv2ecpgxc04t1aokgwlw1ccnzcmqxf5mron4bk0h00410 and part 2: ruclips.net/video/c2LGkWXm6iA/видео.html If you are looking at it on a PC or laptop you can switch on the subtitles in the settings in the bar under the video on the right hand side. It´s a bit hidden as you have to click Settings/subtitles/German(auto-generated) and then have to go again to settings/subtitles and can now chose your language. That’s only as good as auto translation goes, but does have some humor in itself ;-)
How about the auto pilot?
🤔🤔🤔
What´s about it? We were running on it for a good deal of this 2 days and especially when steering from inside! Autopilots are the most essential equipment parts on board and this one had a wind vane steering as well in addition (so with no power consumption at all)
@@SiriusYachts
Okay 👌👌👌
Why don't you turn your background music up a little more, I can still hear you.
Up to 700000€ and more ...
No way! 700k??? Hallberg Rassy for much less....
Is this "review" sponsored by the boat builder?
Nope, the boat builder just tried to supply nice enough dinner and breakfast on board ;-) ...or said differently: in addition to helping me sail the boat back to its customers, crew had to cope in addition with my cocking skills ;-)
loose the elevator music
Beautiful boat! Horrendous music!
If I only sell my van colvic countess project boat. If I sell my tiny house aswell I'll get a clean moody 35 .
If I Rob a bank this . This is the ultimate for me . A proper big boy yacht without need for rare deep mornings and lift outs and all that .
I would never want a boat that can't dry out . Completely useless to me .
wonderful boat
realy miserable video
Love the boat. Hate the friggin' music.
Promo SM 🤤
Nice video, annoying music
found this video annoying. zoom out!!
Disappointing as you can't learn how the boat sails in a blow if you don't sail it in a blow. Sir Francis & Sir Robyn didn't drop sail and motor in 30 knots. This was a waste of time...
